Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5 Bold predictions for Week 8 vs. Giants

Tampa Bay Buccaneers bold predictions for Week 8 against the Giants.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently riding that features a two-game winning streak. Two weeks ago they dismantled the previously undefeated Green Bay Packers and last week they went on the road to beat a solid Las Vegas Raiders team. The win in Vegas helped the team to improve to 2-2 so far this season.

Now they will take to the road again when they visit the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 8.

The Giants are only 1-6 and should not be a major problem for the Buccaneers, but anything can happen from game to game in the NFL. The Giants are coming off of a tough Thursday night loss so they should have some extra rest and preparation time compared to the Buccaneers. It is most likely the Giants will want to slow the game down and depend on their defense since the offense has not been very good at all.

5. Tom Brady and the passing game will struggle

Tom Brady had his second huge game of the season for the Buccaneers on Sunday when he threw for four touchdowns and ran for another. Unfortunately for Brady, things will not go as well against the Giants. Although not great, the defense has been the strong unit for the Giants this season.

The Giants have a head coach in Joe Judge who is in his first year after being with Brady in New England and more importantly defensive coordinator Patrick Graham previously spent seven seasons in his coaching career with the Patriots.

Former Patriots coaches and defensive assistants have had a history of success against Brady and this meeting will be no different. Combine this with the absence of Chris Godwin, and the passing game will be slowed down on Monday.
